Every year MGOC welcomes new members who wish to share their horticultural knowledge with the public.  Members must complete specified educational requirements within 3 years of joining, must volunteer at least 30 hours of time each year and must  keep their knowledge up to date.

MGOC has adopted a plan to accept new members at one time each year.  Applications will be accepted from June 15th to September 15th.  In October, the applicants will be invited to participate in an orientation meeting via Zoom.  Interested applicants will be asked to provide further information and will be individually interviewed.  Those who are invited to join will be asked to attend the November meeting. At that point, those who are interested will be asked to sign the Master Gardener Agreement and will officially join in January.

The 2024 deadline is now closed.
